Plantation Primary School is a thriving primary school situated in Halewood, Knowsley. As a larger than average primary school, we are currently expanding from two form entry to three form entry, reflecting our commitment to providing high-quality education to an increasing number of pupils.
Our school is set within five acres of open space, including a nature reserve, which supports our aim to create a stimulating learning environment. This unique outdoor setting, combined with our diverse pupil population, shapes our approach to education and the values we uphold.
At the heart of Plantation Primary School is our vision: for all children to love learning and see the potential in themselves to achieve great things through their learning.
This vision is underpinned by our four "Super Values": Respect, Kindness, Determination, and Honesty.
These values are not merely words on a page but are actively integrated into the daily life of our school, guiding our interactions, decision-making, and the way we approach teaching and learning.
Plantation Primary School's educational approach is rooted in our core values and vision, providing a holistic learning experience that nurtures the academic, social, and emotional development of our pupils.
